A Valentine from Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, to George Washington, the 1st.
Oh Washington, dear Washington,
With your wig so powdered and white,
I write this meek and humble note
To you this lonesome night.
You do not know me by my name,
Nor have you seen my face,
But here I sit upon your land
In honor of your grace.
At this present time I tour the land,
Spreading forth my word,
Praying, for the League of Nations,
That my reasoning will be heard.
I wish for the grandeur you once possessed
When you once were full of life.
I wish for a single meeting with you
To ease this horrid strife.
I’ve dreamt of resting in your arms,
Safe in your embrace.
If only I could see you now
To touch your weathered face.
All your scars, your imperfections,
Change not how I view you.
But now, my dear, sweet president,
I bid you now…adieu.
